History

Fundação Getulio Vargas was established in 1944 with the goal of contributing to the promotion of economic and social development of Brazil. For almost 70 years its actions have left a mark of excellence on the academic history of the country. The knowledge applied to the formulation of public policies and business practices, built upon high-quality standards of education and scientific research, makes FGV a reference in the areas of administration, economics, law, historical research and documentation.

It was the first Latin American institution to train graduates in public and business administration. It is the only Brazilian institution of higher education among the 100 best in the world, according to rankings published by the New York Times in 2002. According to a global survey conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, today FGV appears among the top 30 Think Tanks in the world in the categories of Public Policy, Development and Internal Economic Policy. Nationally, the Ministry of Education has included three of FGV's schools among the top five in the country.

Matching the high expectations generated for such recognition is a great motivation for FGV to continue developing and fortifying its academic excellence and its commitment to Brazilian society.
